LAmbre Versus AMPLATZER Amulet Left AtrIal Appendage Occluder for StRoke ProphylaxIs
- Conditions
- Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
- Interventions
- Device: Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
- Registration Number
- NCT06060912
- Lead Sponsor
- Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen
- Brief Summary
The objective of this trial is to compare two different commercially available left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices in patients with non-valvular Atrial fibrillation/ atrial flutter (AF) at increased risk for stroke with regard to safety and efficacy.
The investigators hypothesize that LAAO using the LAmbre occlusion device (Lifetech Scientific, Shenzhen, China) is non-inferior to LAAO using the AMPLATZER Amulet occlusion device (Abbott Medical, Chicago, ILL, USA) with regards to the primary endpoint, which is peri-device leak (PDL) size 3 months after LAAO, as assessed with transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in patients with non-valvular AF.
- Detailed Description
AMPIRI is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, multi-center, open-label, non-inferiority other clinical investigation. All consecutive patients with non-valvular AF at increased risk for stroke or systemic embolism based on CHA2DS2-VASc score not eligible for long-term oral anticoagulation therapy will qualify for screening. Patients with confirmed eligibility and who have given written informed consent will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to group A (LAmbre LAAO device) or group B (AMPLATZER Amulet LAAO device). Clinical indication, technique, and timing of LAAO will be at the operator's discretion.
The investigators hypothesize that LAAO using the LAmbre occlusion device (Lifetech Scientific, Shenzhen, China) is non-inferior to LAAO using the AMPLATZER Amulet occlusion device (Abbott Medical, Chicago, ILL, USA) with regards to the primary endpoint, which is PDL size 3 months after LAAO, as assessed with TOE in patients with non-valvular AF.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PDL size after 3 months three months Peri-device leak size (in mm) three months after successful LAAO as assessed with TOE.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Procedural Duration at index procedure End time (closing of X-Ray) minus start time (access site puncture).
Device-related complications at three months All complications which are a result of the presence of the device and require either a surgical or percutaneous intervention or other medical treatment (device embolization, device erosion, clinically significant device interference with surrounding structure, device thrombus, device fracture, device infection/pericarditis, endocarditis, device perforation/laceration or device allergy)
All-stroke during index hospitalization and up to 24 months Defined as an acute episode of focal or global neurological deficit with at least one of the following: change in the level of consciousness, hemiplegia, hemiparesis, one-sided numbness or sensory loss, dysphasia or aphasia, hemianopia, amaurosis fugax or any other neurological signs or symptoms consistent with stroke. It is caused by brain, spinal cord, or retinal vascular injury as a result of hemorrhage or infarction. A transient ischemic attack (TIA) should be clearly distinguished from ischemic stroke, based on focal neurological symptoms lasting \<24 hours and imaging-confirmed absence of acute brain infarction. Therefore, it is mandatory to recommend imaging confirmation as part of the diagnosis. Stroke assessment requires a neuroimaging and neurological examination, preferably by a neurologist.
Device Sucess at index prozedure Defined as device deployed and implanted in correct position.
Procedural success at index procedure defined as technical success with no procedure-related complications, except for uncomplicated (minor) device embolization
Large residual peri-device leak size > 5mm at three months Large peri device leak size (in mm) \>5 mm three months after successful LAAO as assessed with TOE.
Systemic embolism during index hospitalization and up to 24 months Systemic embolism: Acute vascular insufficiency or occlusion of the extremities or any non-central nervous system organ associated with clinical, imaging, surgical/autopsy evidence of arterial occlusion in the absence of other likely mechanism (e.g., trauma, atherosclerosis, or instrumentation). When there is presence of prior peripheral artery disease, angiographic or surgical or autopsy evidence is required to show abrupt arterial occlusion.
Procedure-related complications during index hospitalization Pericardial effusion with or without tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis or surgical intervention.
Device thrombus at three months Device thrombus at three months after successful LAAO as assessed with TOE.
Technical success during index hospitalization Defined as exclusion of the LAA with residual peri device leak size ≤ 5mm and no device-related complications during index hospitalization.
Major bleeding during index hospitalization Defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type ≥ 3.
All-cause death or cardiovascular death during index hospitalization and up to 24 months Cardiovascular Death:
* Death due to proximate cardiac cause, e.g. myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade, worsening heart failure, and endocarditis.
* Death caused by non-coronary, non-CNS vascular conditions such as pulmonary embolism, ruptured aortic aneurysm, dissecting aneurysm, or other vascular disease.
* Death from vascular CNS causes from haemorrhagic stroke or from ischaemic stroke.
* All procedure-related deaths, including those related to a complication of the procedure or treatment for a complication of the procedure.
* Sudden or unwitnessed death defined as non-traumatic, unexpected fatal event occurring within 1 hour of the onset of symptoms in an apparently healthy subject. If death is not witnessed, the definition applies when the victim was in good health 24 hours before the event.
* Death of unknown cause:
Non-cardiovascular death: Death of a primary cause that is clearly related to another condition (e.g. trauma, cancer, suicide).Composite of ischaemic stroke or systemic embolism during index hospitalization and up to 24 months Incidence of ischaemic stroke or systemic embolism, as described below.
